"THE ATMOSPHERE AND TONE OF THE ART REPRESENT THE ARTIST'S LIFE ATTITUDE AND HIS UNIQUE PERCEPTION OF BEAUTY, THEREFORE, I SPEND MUCH OF MY TIME ON THE FORMATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE, WHICH RESULT FROM THE TREATMENT OF COLORS. THE POWER OF COLOR COMES FROM MY PASSION FOR LIFE AND ART. I APPLY THE RULE OF COLORS BY RESISTING BEING BOUND TO THEM." Ming Feng

Ming Feng was born on June 14, 1957 in Guangzhou, China. Guangzhou, known as the "Flower City," is situated in a subtropical area surrounded by lush trees, crisscrossing rivers and babbling brooks.

"Nature's beauty stirred my longing for art and its colorfulness gave wings to my imagination. I could not help but attempt to capture its beauty on paper. Perhaps that was the burgeoning of my passion for art. I was twelve." That year Ming was admitted to the Guangzhou Municipal Teenage Art School.

Upon graduation, he enrolled at the Guangzhou Art Academy. There, he studied artistic theories and philosophy of both Western and Chinese art. Before arriving in the United States, Ming achieved prominence as an acclaimed artist in his native China.

In 1975, he became a set designer for the Modern Dance Troupe of Guangzhou. Later, for five years (1978 to 1982), he worked as a commercial artist for the Guangzhou Art Design Company. Ming has exhibited internationally and received many awards. His works are in the permanent collection of the Guangzhou Art Museum.

The artist was honored by the Beijing People's Publishing House, which in 1982, published its annual calendar dedicated exclusively to twelve of his paintings.

In 1988, Ming immigrated to the United States with his parents and settled in New York. The diversity of art there broadened his horizon while the market offered him more opportunities to show his paintings. He lived near New England's Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, which today still remain his favorite places and the sources of his inspiration.
